When installing SPM on an Android device, the ideal option is always to use an SPM build specifically designed for your device, as it provides the highest level of integration and system privileges.
If no device-specific SPM is available, you can use the SPM DPC, a universal version that can be installed on any Android device. This variant is also the preferred choice when you need to enable kiosk mode, since it ensures consistent behavior across different models and manufacturers.
Please note that the functionalities available through SPM DPC depend on the Android version running on your device. The table below outlines the minimum Android version required for each feature:
| Functionality | Minimum Android Version |
|---|---|
| Remote Software Update | Android 6.0 |
| Kiosk Mode | Android 6.0 |
| Scheduled and Remote Reboot | Android 7.0 |
| Remote Clock and Date Adjustments | Android 9.0 |
| Remote Control | Not supported |
While SPM DPC is more limited compared to dedicated SPM builds, it remains highly recommended whenever a device-specific version is not available.
Important
Only OnSign player versions 10.3.7 or above are compatible with the SPM DPC.
